Lights Camera Drarry 2024 recs

Here are some of my favorite fics from @lcdrarry 2024. Listed in alphabetical order.

Black Sheep by shushu_yaoi_lj / @orange-peony [10k]

“You know, Potter, maybe all you need to win is a little—incentive, let’s say.” “An incentive?” Harry asks, his interest piqued. He takes a step closer to the fence, and then another one, until he’s standing so close that he can smell the intoxicating scent of Malfoy’s expensive cologne. “Shall we say that if you win, you can have whatever your heart desires?” Malfoy replies with a smile. “Anything.”

A Ferret, a ScarHead, a Weasel, and a Baby by trishjames [91k]

They say becoming a parent is an unparalleled, priceless joy. Draco Malfoy finds himself putting that theory to the test when the star witness in his dangerous illegal potions case entrusts him with a powerful wish: protect her newborn baby at all costs. Now, it's up to Draco to fulfill that wish despite the looming threat of criminals hunting for the child. To think, just the day before, he was fretting over his inappropriate feelings for his annoying, bespectacled git of a housemate—not the mechanics of changing nappies! Thank Merlin it takes a village to raise a sack of flour, ah, child.

first, she fell by luminae [1k]

Harry's wife is dead. No one knows quite what that means.

Love Will Abide by @dodgerkedavra [39k]

Harry and Draco survive the apocalypse. This is what happens after.

Obscuro by stratigraphy [35k]

Draco is grieving. His conversation partner is here against his will. It's a shameless rip-off of an insipid Muggle reality dating show. Hardly the occasion for true love, if you ask Draco. feat. a cat named Marmalade, a bird named Mumble, Lee Jordan's answer to Love is Blind, and two best friends who only want their dads to be happy.

this strange effect by harDeehar [30k]

Harry hated his job, his cousin, and his inability to figure out how to fit into the boring, depressing world around him. He kept his peace until Draco Malfoy turned out to not be dead like Harry thought he was. Deadly, though? Harry was going to figure that out.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

"What we have together is different than anything I've ever known. There's a little flame between us. It's always burning. And I've come to believe that tending a fire like that is purpose enough for any life." - Oliver Mellors, Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022)

Summary:

The rumoured engagement of one Mister Draco Lucius Malfoy and Lady Astoria Sofia Greengrass has been the talk of Wizarding Society. 

My dear reader, this author can confirm that the rumours are true.

Explicit. 33k.

Content/Warnings: marriage of convenience, open marriage, consensual infidelity, D/s undertones, hand jobs, oral sex, anal sex, implied mpreg, terminal illness, blood curse, canonical character death, angst with a happy ending

Author's Note: Lady Chatterley's Lover is a beautiful story and film. It inspired The Flame Between Us. One of my cheerleaders and friends created two pieces of art for this fic, which are found in chapters one and three. @bubble-gumhead I cannot thank you enough for bringing these scenes to life with your absolutely stunning work. I told you that I would love even just a stick figure drawing, which is true. I have no words that could ever describe how much it means to me that you did anything at all, let alone the beautiful watercolours you've created. Thank you so much!

@lcdrarry @celilasart, you are the best mod I have ever had the pleasure of being modded by. When I thought I wouldn't be able to complete this in time, your support and understanding made me believe that I actually could. Plus the extensions! Omg, we can't forget about those.

This fic would not be what it is without my amazing betas, @mystickitten42 and @m0srael. Thank you so much for talking things through with me and being so incredibly patient.

Finally, The Flame Between Us is dedicated to my cheerleaders and alphas, @bubble-gumhead and @orange-peony. I literally could not have done this without you. There were moments when I considered giving up and just posting this "eventually" on my own. I finished writing this fic because of and for you. I hope this is worthy of all your support.

Title: A Boesky, A Jim Brown, and the biggest Leon Spinks ever. Fandom: HP Rating: T+ Word Count: 12k Pairing: Drarry (Other pairings omitted for spoilers, see end notes if required) Featured Characters: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger ,Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Neville Longbottom, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan Tags: Heist, POV Multiple, mention of past abusive relationships (not Drarry), Divorced Harry Potter & Ginny Weasley, LCDrarry 2023 Summary:

Harry and his group of friends formulate a rather ambitious plan to re-acquire a rare diamond from the clutches of an old enemy—Theo Nott. Along the way, he's hoping to catch the attention of his ex—Draco Malfoy—who is now dating Theo.

“What have you heard?” Harry half-whispered. “Rumours are going around that it’s the Starlight Diamond.” The guest half-whispered in reply, excitement practically vibrating out of the man’s pores. “Starlight Diamond?” He feigned ignorance, flicking his glance between the guest and Ginny. “Oh, right, I’m so sorry Mr. Potter. I often forget you didn’t grow up in our world.” Harry twitched, fist clenched. In another life, he probably would have decked the guy for being a prick, but that was the kind of person this sort of event attracted. The old money and the nouveau riche, both looking to flaunt their means and gossip.

Notes:

As always I have an entire bucket of people to thank. First and foremost to J for being both my Alpha reader and spontaneous last minute beta reader. I owe you a bucket of wonderful things for just sticking by me despite my whiny petulance. Also thank you to C for giving it a last look over to make sure that all the loose ends were well tied off. And of course, a sincere grateful thank you to the mods for their patience, and for putting together such a wonderful fest <3

This fic is inspired by the Ocean's 11 series, and includes little homages/easter eggs for a series I greatly adore.

As a side note, I've left off some pairings in the interest of keeping the tags spoiler free for some lovely mini twists. If you think you might be bothered by potential pairings, I've listed them down in the footnote at the end of the fic. Cheers!

Year in Review - Fest podfics

Care of Magical Creatures (and sequels) by @arsenicjade for @polypodweek (E, 73k, 8 hours, Hermione x Remus x Severus)

Summary: In the aftermath of the War, Hermione finds her way.

the dogfather (and sequels) by @nonasuch for @goodgodfathersiriusblack (T, 48k, 5 hours, Remus x Sirius)

Summary: “I’m not a reverse werewolf either,” says the man. “I’m your godfather.”

Stay by vendettadays for Femslash February (T, 21k, 2 hours, Hermione x Pansy)

Summary: When Minerva said that Pansy Parkinson was to be the new Arithmancy professor at Hogwarts, Hermione thought she was joking. Then she remembered, Minerva McGonagall never joked. (Or, the progression of Hermione and Pansy’s relationship as Transfiguration and Arithmancy professors during the course of the school year.)

Higher and Higher (Temptation) by birdsofshore for @dracotops-harry (E, 28k, 3 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Only Harry Potter could manage to put on a magical collar on impulse and find himself unable to take it off again. Now following Draco’s direct orders gives him intense pleasure, and Draco has a whole heap of troubles to deal with, not least the way Potter looks when the collar has him gasping with bliss. The whole situation would test the morals of a saint... and Draco’s no saint.

Silhouettes by @sweet-s0rr0w for @dronarryfest (E, 17k, 2 hours, Draco x Harry x Ron)

Summary: Draco's trying to fix the Burrow, Ron's trying to grieve, and Harry... well, just what is Harry actually doing, anyway? A tale of grief, gardening, and ghouls, bad memories, bad puns, and bad flirting, and nudity both accidental and very, very deliberate.

An Overly Considerate Friend by @the-francakes for @regulusblackfest (M, 8k, 47 mins, James x Regulus)

Summary: “Remus help! This is your fault!” James tried again. “I didn’t tell you to snog him, Prongs!” Moony snapped back. “TRUE. Technically, you didn’t. You didn’t say 'don’t snog Regulus,' you just said not to hit on him. WHICH I DIDN’T! So maybe protect me a little here please?” James floundered for excuses. Remus debated it for a moment - hopefully that please did itself justice and saved James’ life. “Snogging most definitely falls under flirting,” Remus decided educationally. All his friends were assholes, honestly. After tonight, James was going to start hanging out with Hufflepuffs.

One Night in the House of Black by @sleepstxtic for @ladiesofhpfest (M, 9k, 1 hour, Artemisia Black x Eunon Blackwood)

Summary: When a stranger comes knocking on the doors of her House, Artemisia Black must make a choice. What happens that night will determine the fate of her family forever.

As You Wish by @pineau-noir for @lcdrarry (T, 22k, 3 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Draco was raised on a farm in the small country of Wiltshire; his favourite pastimes were flying on his broom and tormenting the hired farm boy. Though his name was Harry, Draco never called him that. On Harry's forehead there was a scar shaped like a lightning bolt, so Draco called him Scarhead. Nothing gave Draco as much pleasure as ordering Harry around Or a story about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, True Love, and miracles.

you're alive by @the-houseryn for @harrydracompreg (M, 27k, 3 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: The most boring shift in the world, filled with Muggle car ride games to pass the time, was interrupted by a tow-head boy begging for help to save his papa and ultimately changed Harry's life from there on out. For the better, of course.

Where the Heart Is by @kohakhearts (T, 16k, 2 hours, Harry & Severus)

Summary: After the events at the Department of Mysteries in June—and all that came after—Harry finds himself once again stranded at Number Four Privet Drive. With only his own thoughts to keep him company, he takes to writing letters to the only person he thinks can help, if only he were still alive to do so. As it turns out, though, sometimes help can arrive in even the most unexpected of forms too.

Masks by Inell for DCC Monthly Microcreations (E, 1.4k, 9 mins, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Keeping secrets is tiring.

Clair de Lune by @constitutionalweasleymonarchy for @ladiesofhpfest (G, 2k, 13 mins, Luna Lovegood)

Summary: How wonderful to be seen.

Consequenses and Preparations by ChokolatteJedi for @ladiesofhpfest (T, 1.5k, 9 mins, Lucius x Narcissa)

Summary: Narcissa finds out that Lucius not only let an object the Dark Lord entrusted him with be destroyed, but he was the reason there was a basilisk in their son's school. She decides to prevent any further Draco-endangering stupidity on his part and disposes of him. Not that anybody guesses it's her, of course, she is a Slytherin. And she's going to make sure her son acts like one, too.

the residue of design by @fleurting for DCC Monthly Microcreations (E, 4k, 26 mins, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Rita Skeeter temporarily comes out of retirement to do an exclusive interview with The Chosen One. For some reason, Draco's friends think this has something to do with him.

Fawning Over You by @toxik-angel for @hptransfest (E, 39k, 5 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Harry's not sure which would be worse: Ron and Hermione finding out he buys Draco Malfoy's premium pornography and an extra gift off his wishlist every week, or Draco Malfoy finding out Harry has a horrible, distracting, embarrassing crush on him. Alt title: Whore-ton Hears a Harry.

The Audacity of Lavender Brown by @malpal132 for @ladiesofhpfest (E, 6k, 42 mins, Charlie x Lavender)

Summary: Ron channels his anger through the blades of his skates and the hockey stick he uses on his professional team, but embarrassment isn’t an emotion he’s quite mastered. This disparity between them starts out small, then trickles into everything. For instance, he never kisses her with his tongue. Like, never. She straddles his lap and cards her fingers through his ginger hair, showing a bit of Victorian ankle every time she risks slipping her tongue past her own lips. It’s like his are vacuum-sealed shut. Instead of French sophistication, she’s more like a gerbil suckling from the sippy bottle attached to the side of its cage. She is abundant with nowhere to go.

Tempus Gratiae by @charlotterhea for @harryglots (M, 24k, 3 hours, Hermione x Severus)

Summary: Professor Snape verschwindet während Hermines 6. Schuljahr für eine Woche. Spurlos. Dann kehrt er zurück und alles ist wie vorher. Abgesehen von ein paar Details, die Hermines Neugier wecken. Aber erst sieben Jahre später fängt das Rätsel an, sich zu lösen.

The Chaperone by @annabtg for @ladiesofhpfest (T, 7k, 46 mins, James x Lily)

Summary: When Lily's father won't let her go out alone on a date with James, she has to resort to desperate measures: make it a double date with Petunia and Sirius.

Will you send me to Hogwarts? by @sleepstxtic for @ladiesofhpfest (G, 1k, 4 mins, Padma & Parvati Patil)

Summary: A letter to the Patil twins from their mother.

Tempus Gratiae (English version) by @charlotterhea for @etl-echo-audiobooks Time Collection (M, 24k, 3 hours, Hermione x Severus)

Summary: Professor Snape disappears for a week during Hermione's 6th year. Without a trace. Then he returns and everything is as before. Except for a few details that arouse Hermione's curiosity. But only seven years later the mystery begins to unravel.

A Case of You by @epitomereally for @hd-wireless (E, 97k, 12 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Draco was doing just fine working as an Unspeakable in Paris, hanging out with his living and ghostly pals, inventing new spells, and definitely not thinking about Potter. Then, Lucius just had to break out of prison and turn his world upside down. Now, Draco has to return to England, where he is forced to confront how family ties bind us—and one infuriatingly fit Harry Potter.

Stick Shift by @stultiloquentia for @etl-echo-audiobooks Fantastic Fandoms Collection (E, 5k, 34 mins, Buffy x Spike)

Summary: Buffy stakes herself a vampire.

Still Clearly Up to the No-Good Things by @snsknene for DCC Monthly Microcreations (T, 4k, 26 mins, Draco x Harry)

Summary: “Tails,” Harry intoned to no-one in particular. “Harry,” Draco said kindly, “perhaps it is getting a bit too late for you. You are gibbering again.”

The Roommate by @romaine2424 for @hd-hurtcomfort-fest (M, 43k, 4 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: After one year in Azkaban, and two years of home arrest, Draco is going off to college. Myrrdin College is Oxford’s magical college, where one Harry Potter is currently attending. Both are going for their teaching certificates with Draco specialising in Potions and Harry in Defence Against the Dark Arts. The Headmistress has insisted all incoming professors must be degreed. However, the Board of Governors insist that Draco also must live in a Muggle house with limited allowance and take Muggle elective courses before he can become Hogwarts' new Potions Professor. Harry is coerced by others into helping Draco Malfoy survive in the Muggle world.

Lights Camera Drarry 2023 recs

Here are some of my favorite fics from @lcdrarry 2023. Listed in alphabetical order.

The Dying of the Light by camomiletea [20k]

Everyone dies. That’s just the way it is.

And then there are the unfortunate few who get promoted.

Palm Springs by KittyCargo [20k]

Harry collapsed into the chair next to him. “What is happening?”

“One of those infinite time loop situations.”

“What?!”

“You know. Yesterday is today. Today is today, tomorrow is today.”

“But how do I stop it? I don’t want tomorrow to be today. I want tomorrow to be tomorrow!”

“Yeah, that’s understandable.” Malfoy said calmly. “Do you like tacos?”

The Piano by shushu_yaoi_lj / @orange-peony [37k]

He arrives on a boat during a particularly stormy day.

Harry knew Astoria Greengrass had sent for a husband, someone to keep her company on the particularly dreary and dark winter days on this remote island. Harry didn’t know who it was she had arranged to be sent here. All he knew was that the weather was horrid today, and the Portkeys had never properly worked in this remote corner of the North Sea. The island was special, its magic working in odd and surprising ways.

The last person Harry expects to find on the beach is Draco Malfoy.

This Life Now by @nerdherderette [38k]

This close up, Draco can see the differences that have occurred over the years. Harry's hair is longer, although it's as unruly as ever; his forearms are well-muscled and decorated with ink; and there are small lines by his eyes that look like they would crinkle if he were smiling. Which, at this moment, he most definitely is not. He looks like he's worn the same clothes for three days and just rolled out of bed, yet Harry's so unfairly gorgeous it makes Draco's heart ache.

"What do you want, Draco?" Harry asks, his voice resigned.

The question snaps Draco out of his reverie. "A divorce," he proclaims as he opens his bag.

Welcome to Kreb by Nelween [24k]

Harry had always been obsessed with dragons. It was one of the reason he had studied them. And when the opportunity came to study draconic creatures in the wild on a deserted magical island with his mentor Charlie Weasley and his friend Neville Longbottom, why wouldn't he take it? If only he knew what he would encounter on his journey...

You've Got Owl Post by @slyth-princess [50k]

After discovering muggle romantic comedies during winter break, Pansy Parkinson and Luna Lovegood decide to launch an ambitious project called You've Got Owl Post which matches up students through an enchanted notebook so they can send letters to each other without knowing who is at the other end. It is an instant hit.

Harry, without his friends knowing, is one of the first to join. And he rapidly finds a kindred soul on the other side of the pages. In real life, however, he is once again plagued by Draco Malfoy. After fighting in class, McGonagall has had enough. So, as punishment and a lesson, she assigns them the running of that years dueling club. Everyone, including Harry and Draco, assumes it will be a disaster.

However, sometimes the people you think you know the best are the ones who can surprise you the most.

A story of letters, bets, friendship, love, forgiveness, and discovering who you really are.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

2024.06.05 ~ Draco L. Malfoy’s birthday

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. Ballad of the Mantis by @tessacrowley [E, 27k]

►Officially, the codenames of those who work for the espionage branch of the DMLE are assigned randomly, but twice in a row, Draco Malfoy’s codenames have been insects—and not just any insects, but insects with cannibalistic tendencies. Perhaps it should be taken as a compliment. After all, who better to tear down a splinter cell of Death Eaters than one who eats their own?

2. Cocoa? by Drarrylxve [?, 4k]

►Harry is having some issues with a case, so Draco invites him over for some cocoa to take his mind off of it.

3. Overnight changes by GoodForNothingDayDreamer [E, 2k]

►Harry finds a fiesty ferret in the corridors of Hogwarts and brings it back to his room intending to hunt down who it belongs to the next day. But when he falls asleep to a ferret, and wakes up to a very naked Draco Malfoy. Well, sometimes plans have to change.

4. Peppers, Please by @rockingrobin69 [G, 1k]

►Some disasters are just asking to happen.

5. salt on my lips by @swimmin-all-the-time [T, 1k]

►Harry gets his sandwich after the war.

6. slow dancing in the dark by @medalsuzdal [T, 1k]

►Draco and Harry enjoy some time alone after a party.

---

Fest/Exchange

1. Draco Malfoy's New Guide to Old-Fashioned Dating by Anonymous [T, 52k]

LCDrarry 2024 FIC REVEAL!!!!!

YAY!!! I had an absolute blast writing this story! Thank you to everyone who took time to read, leave kudos, and comment on it—your support means the world to me! A huge shout out to the @lcdrarry Mods for their kindness and for hosting another brilliant year! It takes a village to craft a story with love, and wow, did my village deliver! I’m endlessly grateful for the patience, love, and support from my amazing alpha, betas, and reader throughout this experience! I want to give a special thanks to my BFF @dewitty1 for being the best alpha in the entire world. Seriously, this fic wouldn't exist without their support, brilliance, and creativity in helping me tell Draco's wild story of reluctant fatherhood!

This is my Three Men & a Baby meets Taken (1) inspired story, featuring: BAMF!Draco who is also an adorably anxious bean, a Harry bursting with love and sass, and our favorite Ron, who’s both capable and emotionally intelligent! Together, they form an unbeatable BROMANCE! 

Expect a tender Drarry love story with heartfelt confessions, hilarious baby shenanigans, protective Draco moments, and an Auror case that’s totally out of this world! Join our dear boys in an action-packed, heartwarming kid-fic (no one asked for) you never knew you needed!!!

This has been a true labour of love, and I'm so grateful for the experience! I hope this story has brought (and will continue to bring) you all as much joy in reading it as it has brought me in writing it! Thank you again and here's to many more stories and adventures ahead!!!

READ IT ON AO3 HERE.

A Ferret, a ScarHead, a Weasel, and a Baby

Prompt: "Three Men and a Baby", 1987, Leonard Nimoy & "Taken", 2008, Pierre Morel Author: trishjames Word Count: 91,420 words Rating: Explicit Warnings: Angst, Anxiety, Epic Fight Scene(s), Canon-Typical Violence, Hand-to-Hand Combat, Blood, Muggle Weapons, References to Past Child Abuse, Abduction, Injuries

Summary: They say becoming a parent is an unparalleled, priceless joy. Draco Malfoy finds himself putting that theory to the test when the star witness in his dangerous illegal potions case entrusts him with a powerful wish: protect her newborn baby at all costs. Now, it's up to Draco to fulfill that wish despite the looming threat of criminals hunting for the child. To think, just the day before, he was fretting over his inappropriate feelings for his annoying, bespectacled git of a housemate—not the mechanics of changing nappies!

Thank Merlin it takes a village to raise a sack of flour, ah, child.

I finally started making my way through the Lights Camera Drarry Fest Collection! Sharing a few of my favorites in case anyone’s looking for new fics to indulge in the coming weeks. As always, I’ll try to update these as I go through the collection. Enjoy and don’t forget to give these some love!

🩸 first, she fell by luminae (M, 1.6k)

Harry's wife is dead. No one knows quite what that means.

🏕️ Caribou Garden by CreepingMyrtle (T, 2.6k)

Alone with his swotty, posh, nemesis-turned-colleague on an uninhabited island in the far north, cinematographer Harry Potter grapples with his inconvenient crush. A nature documentary-inspired fic with magical caribou migrations, dramatic landscapes, and only one tent.

🛗 If The Boxers Fit (A Cinderella Story) by lettersbyelise (E, 8k)

When Draco ends up shagging a hot, mysterious stranger in a broken Ministry lift and is left with nothing but a sexy pair of red boxers to remember them by, Draco’s friends go sleuthing.

��� drag the past out into the light by ChaosBitch (E, 20k)

There's a serial killer stalking magical London. The murders are gruesome, bizarre, and somehow connected to the Voldemort wars. Auror Harry Potter is paired up with an analyst from the Department of Mysteries to piece together the clues in the killer's unsettling game before they kill again. The good news? This analyst is the best one on offer. The bad news? It's Draco Malfoy.

☠️ Happiness Seems to Be Loneliness by newskyillusion (E, 30k)

Fucking Pansy was like fucking a fish. or: Drarry meets Saltburn. Cw: dead dove

🐉 Romancing the Dragon by jitmu (E, 34k)

Harry Potter writes romance novels from the comfort of his London townhouse with the assistance of his beloved cat, Juliet. He does not engage in rescue missions, talk to dragons, or develop feelings for Draco Malfoy. That would be absurd.
